Chapter 9: The Board Meeting


"It's been so long, Bunko-chan." Otome pulled the Genbu miko into a hug, the younger woman having accompanied Zen to the monthly Board Meeting.

Setsura gave the priestess a long stare, "You finally mated with Zen-sama." she concluded.

"Is it true?" Otome squealed.

Bunko merely blushed and nodded.

"We need to get you checked out." Setsura insisted. "There's a very high chance that you're already carrying."

Otome squealed even louder.


After the Board Meeting...

"You want to pay the Keikain Clan a visit?" Nurarihyon was intrigued by the priestess' strange request.

"Yes." Bunko affirmed. "I have to assure eight Kyoto seals are still intact and quite possibly, reinforce them. And considering my predecessor is a renowned Seals Mistress, I might be able to pass on her sealing knowledge to the Fukuju branch family."


Later that night...

"I've heard." Zen hugged his wife from the back, the married couple were soaking in the large ofuro in the Nura Main House. "That you might be with child." his hand drifted to Bunko's belly.

"The minor Yokai are big gossips." Bunko muttered. "It's a possibility, you realize. We still need to wait for Setsura's tests to come back."

"You're still going to the Keikain Clan after this, then." Zen sighed.

"I have to make sure." Bunko answered.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Zen nuzzled her neck, breathing in her scent.

"And have the onmyōji use their shikigami on you?" Bunko deathpanned.

"Do you really think I'm that weak to be easily exorcised by some shikigami?" Zen retorted.

"You'll never know." Bunko gave him a sly smile.

"You tease." Zen smirked, picked up his squealing wife in his hands and stepped out of the wooden tub, with full intent to claim her for the rest of the night.
